Hi Shri_05,

Thanks for trying Helical Insight.

Yes, you can definitely use the above dataset. All you need is to configure the dataset inside Helical Insight and you are ready to go. You can refer this link for more information on how you can create a data source inside Helical Insight.

You can use the CSV as-is in Helical Insight. Alternatively, you can upload this CSV into mySQL database and utilize the same.

Happy exploring!

Thanks,
